“Alright! It’s finally finished!”
After several hours, Ruan Zhixian put down her painting tools, wiped the fine sweat on her pure white forehead, stepped back, and carefully examined her work.
On the canvas was a black-haired girl wearing an exquisite black gown. The delicate, draping fabric beautifully accentuated the girl’s slightly imperfect yet exquisite figure.
She was reclined at an angle on an ornate sofa chair, her right leg crossed over her left, and beneath the skirt hem were her fair feet encased in pointed high heels.
The girl’s hair was neatly and meticulously pinned up, revealing a smooth forehead and a graceful neckline, giving her an aura of both nobility and elegance.
Yet the most striking part of the entire painting was undoubtedly the girl’s expression:
Her bright phoenix eyes curved gently, as soft as the Crescent Moon Spring, shimmering with an unabashed, almost overflowing affection.
The corners of her lips lifted naturally—not a dazzling laugh, but a genuine smile from the depths of her heart, filled with happiness.
The girl’s gaze was so earnest and tender as she looked ahead, as if she wasn’t staring at the painter, but at her entire world.
Hmm! I knew it, this is exactly how it should be!
After scrutinizing it for a while, Ruan Zhixian nodded with satisfaction.
The most captivating thing about Lingling, after all, is still her love~
Although Lingling herself thought her love might be a bit excessive, I feel it’s tender and considerate! Just maybe a little clumsy in how she expresses it.
How could anyone not like such an adorable Lingling who focuses all her heart on me~
Ruan Zhixian glanced at the painting, then looked over at Su Leng, who was massaging her shoulders and relaxing her body, and couldn’t help but blush slightly.
Hmph, it’s a good thing Lingling likes me…
If it were some other wicked woman, she’d probably be able to fool a love-struck fool like Lingling until there was nothing left…
Thinking this, Ruan Zhixian put her hands on her hips again, her expression smug.
“Alright! It’s decided! I’m going to add this painting to my personal top 10 most satisfying works!”
Ruan Zhixian excitedly announced to the black-haired girl opposite her, then turned the canvas around to proudly show her afternoon’s work.
Seeing Ruan Zhixian so cheerful, Su Ling naturally felt happy too. But as the girl’s words fell, a faint trace of disappointment flashed through her heart.
Just top 10, huh…
Seeing Zhixian paint so joyfully and even say I’m so attractive, I thought it might be something higher…
Do I need to do something else so that my position in Zhixian’s heart becomes more important…
The black-haired girl began to ponder seriously.
“Ah, right!”
At that moment, Ruan Zhixian suddenly seemed to remember something and leaned close to Su Ling, interrupting her thoughts.
“Lingling, how about you let me paint you every day for a little while? Would you like that?”
Just as she said this, Ruan Zhixian reached out to grab Su Ling’s arm again, but halfway there, she noticed some still-wet paint on her own body and shyly withdrew her hand behind her back.
“It’s possible, but Zhixian, are you planning to paint a lot of me?”
Su Ling looked at Ruan Zhixian with some confusion.
“No, no.”
Ruan Zhixian shook her head.
“I actually want to paint an even more detailed and perfect Lingling.”
“Lingling, do you know that oil paintings require different amounts of time depending on the scale and complexity? What I painted today was a quick direct painting sketch of you.”
“Although you look great in this painting, I still want to use more exquisite techniques to create an even more perfect Lingling.”
Under the warm glow of dusk, Ruan Zhixian stood on tiptoe with her hands behind her back, her body unconsciously leaning forward slightly.
“I want to paint a Lingling who will be my number one masterpiece on my top works list! Because—”
“Lingling, you are number one in my heart!”
The girl lifted her head; a few golden strands stuck to her forehead and neck with sweat, some unfinished paint smudged across her cheeks and nose, her face radiant with a brilliant smile.
***
At a hidden residence of the Gu family, “Oh ho, Gu Huaishan, finally found you, haven’t I? Running? Let’s see how long you keep running now. Didn’t you act tough when you tried to run me down with your car?”
Tang Jin’er looked down from above at Gu Huaishan pinned to the ground, extending a foot in a delicate high heel to stomp on his head.
“Damn it! Tang Jin’er! Do you really want to wipe out the entire Gu family? What on earth did we ever do to you?!”
Gu Huaishan, trampled underfoot, struggled fiercely, cursing with a grimace.
“What did I do to you? Hahaha…”
“How dare you still ask that, you old bastard!”
“Ah!”
A beautifully shaped, powerful leg kicked his detestable ugly face hard, sending Gu Huaishan flying.
“How dare you say that to me!”
Tang Jin’er kicked him again in rage.
“If that bastard Gu Tian hadn’t tried to bully a girl and I caught him, then tried to beat me up in anger, do you think I would have a grudge against you?”
That stomp landed on his hand; the pain made him bare his teeth.
“If you hadn’t tried to run me over with your car, do you think I’d be beating you here?”
Another kick landed on Gu Huaishan’s thigh, making him crawl wildly on the ground.
“If it weren’t for the fools under your family spreading rumors that made Su Ling misunderstand, would I have had my confession rejected, had to watch my best friend and girlfriend be sweet together, and be forced to suffer eating dog food on the sidelines?!”
That kick struck his belly, causing him to curl up in pain.
“Huh? You tell me?!”
With every word, Tang Jin’er’s foot grew heavier, and the man on the ground screamed like a ghost.
“Hey, A’er, did the big sister just say something serious? Like about being rejected after confessing…”
In a corner of the room, a bald man hesitated, looking at the scene before speaking to the man with the crew cut beside him.
“Oh, bro, better not say things you shouldn’t say. If big sister hears it and gets angry, she might beat you up too!”
The crew cut man quickly covered the bald man’s mouth and gave him a warning look.
“Mm-hmm!”
The bald man nodded nervously, casting a fearful glance toward Tang Jin’er.
“But, I think I understand now why big sister got so angry this time…”
Saying that, the crew cut man nervously glanced at the miserable scene in the room and shrank his neck.
“Yeah…”
The bald man sighed, and the two exchanged a look:
A heartbroken girl is not to be messed with!
